I have a great day at UTCX today with Kellen, Greg, and KO in spite of getting absolutely destroyed in the Men’s B Race while Kellen managed to finish third. After a stormy start to the cross season, we enjoyed perfect weather again today.
I have always liked the Weber Race. The laps are long, mostly flat, and very fast on generally hard-packed surfaces. Over the years, the course has evolved to be a little more technical. From time, to time, they have included a potentially rideable high-risk obstacle. This year, it was a small drainage ditch perhaps two and a half feet across at the bottom of a gentle downhill to uphill transition following a 180 degree turn. There were embedded beams maybe 4" x 4" running along each side. Most people, even in the A Race, opted to dismount. The riders with the skills and confidence to jump the gap gained a modest advantage each lap. UTCX wraps up their season two weeks from today although I have heard rumors that they may try to add on one additional race.
